EXCEPTIONAL! ...HIGH QUALITY RENOVATION ON PRIME REAL ESTATE IN DARIEN'S PREMIER PRIVATE WATERFRONT ASSOCIATION...TOKENEKE. If you know Darien, then you know Tokeneke! Hundreds of acres of prime residential real estate, much of it situated on Long Island Sound, was envisioned & designed in the early 1900's to be a "park-like setting where well-to-do New Yorkers, artists, & writers gravitated, building beautiful summer & year round homes" This property, known as "Stone Harbour", is sited in a truly outstanding location on its own peninsula w/water access & views looking over the manicured grounds that extend to the South. This notable residence offers a fabulous floor plan & quality accoutrement designed to take full advantage of its location while affording its owner the benefits of luxury state of the art living. Completely renovated by Fletcher Development, every detail is perfection. The expanded new kitchen, designed by kitchen master Peter Deane, offers the latest in fine materials, craftsmanship, space allocation, top end appliances & outdoor access to a beautiful new IPE deck & salt water pool. The new Primary Suite was redesigned to accommodate easy access to new walk-in closets & dressing space as well as a gorgeous Primary Bath w/all the extras to enjoy as you lookout to the water or relax on your balcony. The den is perfectly situated w/ newly designed cabinetry & desks for study. Every bathroom is completely new w/top quality modernity. New systems (cont.) have also been added throughout including a full sound system and Smarthome technology was added so you can operate your lights, heat, automatic shades from your smart devices. Each of three fireplaces were updated and converted to propane and the chimneys were all relined, designed and installed. Steel beam structural support was added in the home where needed. The HVAC was converted from oil to 1000 gallon subterranean propane tank. There was also a new central vacuum system installed. The lower level basement was renovated with a new French drain installed as well as new super pumps ,if ever needed. New copper gutters were also installed. All This AND More! Minutes from downtown Darien, the Corbin District, schools, as well as Metro North train station to NYC.
